Jack’s Catching On!

Jack came to us on Friday from a Missouri puppy mill. That’s the same place Bill had come from (don’t know if it was the same mill), so the two hit it off great. Jack is very skittish but he warms up quickly…although, he also forgets quickly that he just warmed up to you!

He’s been with us for two nights now. The first night he darted around the house all night long. We tried to let him sleep in bed with us (Harleigh was in the crate), but he just wouldn’t sit still, which really sucked because we had to fly Harleigh down to her new home the next morning, and we didn’t get a good night of sleep.

The next night we decided we would crate him, but before he could go in the crate, Bill did! Jack really likes being near Bill, so we did the most logical thing – we crated them together for the night! It was so cute, and they slept pretty quietly. Honestly, I missed having Bill cuddled up next to me, but it was really nice to actually get a good night of sleep. I’m sure Jack will settle down as he gets more comfortable.

Jack took what was probably his longest real walk yesterday, and he did great. He’s definitely not trustworthy not to bolt off-leash just yet, but he walked with us for the most part (he laid down to take a break once, poor guy – it was only a mile!).

Jack is a VERY cute dog. He’s kind of unique looking, like he’s a French Bulldog-mix or something. I don’t think he is, but his ears are GIGANTIC and he’s got squat, little legs. He’s got a great personality, but he definitely needs to be in a home with another dog to help show him the ropes.

Our rescue is actually so full that we’re not taking in any new foster dogs this month. I hope I can find Jack a home soon so I can open my doors to the next Boston Terrier in needs. In the meantime, Dylan, Bill, and I will do our best to get him potty-trained and more comfortably with humans.
